Starry sky above Mount Hood as seen from Trillium Lake. Mount Hood is the highest mountain (3428m) in the state of Oregon, northwestern US. The last eruption of this volcano was in 1866. As noted by the photographer "The light on Mt Hood is from snow maintenance crews as they were preparing the ski surface for the next day and I was not expecting the artificial light in this unspoiled paradise!"
